Share
We think it's important that you enjoy your engagement before embarking on the often overwhelming wedding planning journey.
With this in mind, here are 5 ways you could celebrate your engagement... which appeals to you most? We'd love to hear your ideas too!
1. Plan a Celebration Dinner
Why not kick off your engagement with a memorable celebration dinner? Whether you choose to dine at a fancy restaurant or cook a special meal at home, a dinner to mark the occasion is a great way to celebrate.
Remember that your loved ones might be as excited as you are to celebrate, but you have every right to consider a more intimate dinner as a couple if you'd prefer.
Perhaps your budget won't stretch to feeding an army of loved ones, or you don;t have the space to host - they'll understand - organise drinks or a low-key dinner instead, share the menu with prices per head - or organise nibbles at home.
2. Host an Engagement Party
Invite your friends and family to share in your joy by hosting an engagement party. It's a fantastic opportunity to gather your nearest and dearest to celebrate your love and excitement for the future. Plus, who doesn't love a good party?
Concerned about cost, don't like the attention, or don't have the space? Consider meeting in a bar, club or even a park for a more relaxed vibe.
3. Escape for a Quiet Weekend Away
If you prefer a more intimate celebration, consider escaping for a quiet weekend away with your partner. Whether you choose a cosy cabin in the woods or a luxurious hotel by the beach, a weekend getaway is the perfect way to unwind and bask in the glow of your engagement.
If cost is a problem, choose somewhere closer to home, put your phones on do not disturb and hibernate for the weekend.
4. Enjoy a Cosy Night In
For a low-key celebration, why not opt for a cosy night in with your partner? Light some candles, order your favourite takeout, and snuggle up on the sofa for a romantic evening together. Sometimes, the simplest moments can be the most special.
5. Book an Activity you Both Enjoy
Adrenalin junkie or spa queen, choose an activity you both enjoy, or mix it up, and spend some quality time together making memories and celebrating your unique qualities. A fantastic opportunity to have fun, or relax and unwind together.
